Jim Berkland
Biography:
Geologist Jim Berkland was suspended from a California Government Geology Job when he made a prediction that a major quake would occur during the 1989 World Series in the Oakland Bay Area. It hit and the government told him to not make any more predictions. Now that he is retired, he publicly states quake windows. Mr. Berkland uses tidal flooding tables based upon Lunar Perigee (time when the moon is closest to earth to affect more gravitational pull on the earth).

Astronomer and author Jeffrey Bennett discussed possibilities for life in the universe, as well as space travel and exploration. A functioning space elevator, a concept first proposed by Arthur C. Clarke, is described in one of Bennett's books. The docking station would be positioned in geosynchronous orbit with a cable attached to the earth. Traveling at 800mph, the elevator ride would take three days, he explained. While Bennett doesn't see evidence for past civilizations on Mars, he believes there's a high probability for microbial life to be found there. Europa, a moon of Jupiter, appears to be a true ocean world, he said, and may also harbor some form of life in its waters. There are as many stars in the universe as there are grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth, he said. This suggests to him that life beyond Earth is inevitable, and we are not the center of the universe.A "UFO agnostic," Bennett said he hasn't seen strong enough evidence to prove that Earth has b

Author Richard Florida discussed his work analyzing and predicting trends in cities, housing, economy, work, and lifestyle. Choosing the right city to live in plays an important role in a person's happiness and success, he said, noting that job markets are becoming more concentrated in specific areas. He also pointed out that we are seeing the development of "mega-regions" such as Southern California, Northern California, Bos-Wash (Boston-Washington) and Char-lanta (Charlotte-Atlanta), which are creating a new kind of geographical order. Different personality types tend to be clustered in specific cities-- extroverts are more prevalent in Chicago and the South, conscientious types in the Midwest, and agreeable people in the Sunbelt, he detailed. The open-to-experience personality type (introverts, outcasts, whiz kids) are congregated in a dozen American cities including Boston, DC, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Miami, Austin, and San Francisco. Interestingly, he has found that people in s

Second hour guest, an expert in Earth's energy systems, Micheal Sunanda spoke about climate, agriculture, and Earth changes. An advocate for permaculture (sustainable living), he suggested that modern farming and deforestation are contributing factors to climate change. Further, he contended that farming methods are causing foods to become too acidic, which makes people sick. He recommended the book Food Not Lawns, for tips on how to turn your yard into a garden.Climate science based on computer modeling doesn't include factors such as cataclysmic cycles, Sunanda commented. The Earth is moving to a new position in the galaxy which can be associated with axis changes and pole shifts, he noted. For more, viewimages he sent us. Appearing in the second-half of the program, geologist Jim Berkland talked about earthquakes.

During the middle two hours, Irish writer and filmmaker Shane O'Sullivan discussed his investigation into the many unsolved questions in the assassination of Robert Kennedy, which occurred 40 years ago on June 6, 1968. In the beginning everyone assumed Sirhan Sirhan did it and it was an open and shut case, but later evidence to the contrary began to emerge, he detailed. Sirhan had scrawled "RFK Must Die" repeatedly in notebooks which the prosecution said showed premeditation. But O'Sullivan suggested this was evidence that Sirhan had been under mind control. The CIA had been conducting covert mind control experiments with the goal of creating a 'Manchurian Candidate'-like assassin, who wouldn't be able to remember being programmed, said O'Sullivan, who added that Sirhan was likely recruited into such an experiment. The autopsy evidence shows that Sirhan was in the wrong position to have fired the fatal bullet, indicating that another shooter was present, possibly the securi

Angel communicator Ann Albers discussed mystical dimensions, evolved spiritual beings, and demonic entities.Angels are like the nerve signals of the universe, and can be thought of as frequency beings, she said. Demons, in contrast, are disconnected from the field, and consciously and maliciously seek to foster negative emotions. A good way to disengage from demons is to not indulge or react to them, so they have nothing to feed on, she explained. Albers said she is able to send her consciousness into other dimensions, which are spheres of awareness. The frequency of the angelic realm is like a beautiful symphony, with a swirling mass of color, she detailed, adding that she regularly receives guidance from a variety of angelic presences. The angels convey that humans have access to the same information or source that they do, and must learn to put as much trust in themselves as they do in them, she shared. Intention is important in developing the ability to communicate with ange

Scientific researcher of ancient artifacts, Richard Shafsky discussed his work with the Mayan crystal skull and how it has conveyed important information about Earth history and changes. He was first introduced to the Mayan skull in the 1970's via a Mayan shaman, whom he said entrusted him to protect and share the wisdom of the artifact. Aware of a total of nine ancient crystal skulls (which have no carving markings on them), there could be even more than 13, Shafsky said. The Mayan skull is made of quartz crystal-- some of the other ancient ones were created from such materials as amethyst, aquamarine, and rose quartz, he detailed. The ancient crystal skulls are "stargates" and can conjure images of the past (such as a race of giants that once lived here), other dimensions and planets, as well as foster ET communication, he suggested. Images seen in the skull such as vortexes and a planet with a different color atmosphere are quite clear and can even be captured on video, he decl

Founder and director of the Georgia Ghost Society, Bob Hunnicutt joined the program to discuss his 18 years of research into haunted Southern residences, businesses and historical landmarks. Despite the areaâs rich history, he said, the Southâs many haunted locations have been, until recently, overlooked and that Southern ghost hunting groups are "breaking new ground everyday." He described the learning process of ghost hunting as "like going fishing, you throw it out there and see what happens and if that doesn't work, you try it somewhere else." Hunnicutt estimated that his group gets around 500 investigation requests per year. Along with rigorous background testing, he expressed the need to stay all night on a ghost hunt saying "thereâs no way you can go into a location for just a few hours and hope to get anything."Hunnicutt also presented four EVPs that were recorded during one of his groupâs investigations.

A group of experts discussed earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and climate change, and shared their predictions as to what we might expect in 2008 and beyond. First,geologist Jim Berkland and author/earthquake 'sensitive' Cal Orey spoke about quakes and weather cycles. Berkland noted that there's a relationship between earthquakes and heavy rain/snow, which can cause loading to the crust. Offering their predictions, Orey suggested that there'd be flooding in the Tahoe area, a possible quake in Alaska affecting the West Coast, and around a 6.0 quake in or offshore Northern California within a year. Berkland finds it more likely that a 6.0 will hit Southern California this year, with a seismic window particularly strong in the new moon periods of May, June and July.As a sensitive, Orey said she sometimes hears "ear tones" before a quake; Berkland stated that some sensitives get headaches before earthquakes.

Rogue Egyptologist John Anthony West shared theories, evidence, and interpretation regarding the Sphinx and the pyramids at Giza. It's "deep heresy" to today's scientific establishment that an ancient civilization had skills that surpass our own-- yet that is what they must have had to make these awe-inspiring structures, he argued. Visiting the Sphinx in-person gave West a sense of "unspeakable antiquity" and pride that human beings had made such a monument. It's meant to signal an "ingress to the Age of Leo," and the last one occurred 10,500 BC, though he believes the Sphinx might have been constructed in the earlier age of Leo which took place at 36,500 BC.

Scientist and author Dr. Dean Radin discussed his scientific research into consciousness and psychic phenomena. He reported on the testing of random number generators (called "eggs") which show statistical anomalies where the numbers behave in a less random fashion in relation to certain events. For instance, 3 hours before the first jet hit during 9-11 there was a "change in the world network," indicating that the generators were picking up "a giant wave of consciousness," he said. Studies have associated creativity with psychic ability said Radin, who noted that this is particularly true for those who play stringed musical instruments. To play these instruments requires a coordination of left and right brain activity, and this communication between the brain hemispheres may enhance their psychic functioning, he theorized. What has been loosely called "mysticism" in the past may actually be a physical sense-- in which a person taps into a kind of "quantum entanglement" where

Geologist Jim Berkland, preparedness expert Stan Deyo, and physicist James McCanney joined together for a roundtable discussion on current and upcoming earth changes. The panelists concurred that there is a correlation between solar activity and earthquakes, weather and other planetary phenomena. McCanney commented that the sun is in a volatile cycle and combined with that there is evidence of human weather manipulation, exciting or triggering recent cataclysms. Further, comets coming from the south and hitting the sun directly, indicate "something large is out there" that has been affecting our sun since 2001, he said. Berkland noted that there is a lot of repression of scientific data that doesn't fit with the prevailing thought. He noted that an eclipse that will pass over Turkey and China in March 2006 could be associated with a possible quake, citing how a recent eclipse passed over Pakistan shortly before a large earthquake occurred there.

Documentary film maker and author, Jon Ronson spoke about his investigation into the US military's strange experiments with the paranormal. At the "Goat Lab," tests were made to see if people could kill animals by simply staring at them. One man, Guy Savelli, who Ronson interviewed, told him that he was able to knock down one of the goats through remote influencing. Other experiments such as walking through walls and becoming invisible were less successful, Ronson reported. The unit that conducted the tests, known as The First Earth Battalion, was spearheaded by Jim Channon who incorporated a number of "new age" teachings into the program. Ronson believes that the use of sound on prisoners at such places at Guantanamo Bay developed out of the Battalion's tests.He also discussed his infiltration of the Bilderberg Groupand Bohemian Grove.

Author Michael Cremo returned to the show to discuss both his archaeological research and his thesis that mankind has devolved from a higher state of pure consciousness. Humans are multidimensional and made up of three elements, he said—ordinary matter, subtle mind, and consciousness. There is evidence that the latter two are real elements from both scientific studies and ancient texts, he said. In fact, he detailed how Nobel Prize winning physicists Pierre and Marie Curie conducted research that clearly showed evidence for mental powers such as psychokinesis. Like humans, the cosmos itself is a multilevel environment, which in addition to the physical matter dimension, contains subtle energy planes inhabited by angels and astral beings, he shared. Humans devolved from such realms by "covering" themselves in matter, he argued. Further, ancient Sanskrit and other texts indicate that humankind is far older than the traditional scientific community acknowledges. In his For

Geologist Jim Berkland returned to the show, offering his analysis of planetary seismic activity. The recent series of quakes off the American Northwest are being caused by magma coming up from the water, which is typical for an active ridge, he said. He doesn't see this situation turning into an "Atlantis-type of thing." Berkland made a prediction of a 6+ earthquake to occur in either Southern Nevada or California during June, July, or August of this year, as these months have particularly high tide periods. He also discussed how the number of deaths are often underestimated for serious quakes. For instance, it has only been in recent years that the death toll from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was raised to the thousands (from several hundred). Governments are reluctant to admit shoddy construction in many cases, he said.Berkland noted that some people are "earthquake sensitives" who exhibit severe headaches for three days preceding a major quake.

Founder and President of Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment, JZ Knight, shared her story and experiences connected with the channeling of a 35,000 year old warrior from the lost continent of Lemuria called Ramtha. He first made himself known to her "in my kitchen in Tacoma, WA in 1977," she said. Knight described leaving her body and going into a light filled tunnel, while Ramtha took over her body. Ramtha declared that he was a descendant of an advanced race of beings from beyond the North Star who came to Earth around 455,000 years ago. During his incarnation, in a period when the planet was wrapped in an atmospheric vapor, the 7-ft. tall warrior claimed that he conquered 2/3 of the planet over a 63 year period with his army of two million soldiers, Knight recounted. Recovering from an injury, he found enlightenment and became an "ascended" master.Ramtha teaches that consciousness and energy are interwoven and that each person is a god, though they may have lost touch with this

Psychic Sylvia Browne returned to the show to share her predictions for 2005 and beyond. "I think we're going to see more and more of these," she said of the recent quake and tsunami in Indonesia. "We're going to have these terrible eruptions everywhere—we're in a polar tilt." She believes we only have about "80 more years left" before life as we know it ends on this planet. Then another planet such as Mercury or Venus, "swings into place" and the whole cycle of life starts anew there, she declared.Yet she also predicted that 2005 will be a better year than 2004. The economy will rebound a bit in the beginning of the year and then pick up more steam by mid-year. Unemployment will go down, and in the stock market, the medical technology field will do particularly well, she said.

Main guest, planetary scientist Dr. Dan Durda discussed asteroid Toutatis as well as other developments in the solar system. This is its closest pass since 1353, and it won't be this close again until 2562, he said of the asteroid that will safely come within one million miles of Earth on September 29th.Should an asteroid the size of Toutatis (3 miles x 1½ miles) hit our planet it would have the impact of a 2 million megaton explosion (more than all the world's nukes), cause an 8.8 quake, and an unbearably loud sound that would shatter glass up to 300 miles away from the crash, he detailed. There are approximately 1100 asteroids passing by Earth, he said, and while we are not in danger of 60% of them, the paths of 40% of them have yet to be identified.Durda also commented on private ventures which he believes are key to opening up space exploration and travel.

Former astronaut and scientist Brian O'Leary, founder of the New Energy Movement, discussed the research and development going into solving the global energy crisis, and reasons we need to move immediately towards "new energy."According to O'Leary, the world's oil fields are at maximum production levels and can barely keep up with demand. He predicts "in another 40 or 50 years there won't be any oil left." O'Leary suggested an active suppression by the "Powers That Be" has kept the world's economy tied to fossil fuels, despite the fact that many possibilities exist for alternative energy sources.O'Leary believes the future of energy rests on several new technologies, including zero point devices, advanced hydrogen chemistry, and cold fusion. He said low energy nuclear reactions (cold fusion) make it theoretically possible to drive a car across the United States on a liter of water. Perhaps even more promising is zero point energy, which involves tapping into the seemingly limit

Katherine Albrecht (spychips.com), the founder of Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering (nocards.org), shared her research on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) products. The small tags which emit identifying signals, are being pitched by major retailers to replace bar codes, and the marketing applications are "quite chilling," she commented. Albrecht expressed concern that the tags would be read by hidden scanners without consumers' awareness and that marketers would be compiling information about people that they don't necessarily want to share. While the industry is claiming that RFID tags can be turned off after a consumer purchases an item, Albrecht discovered at her trip to the Future Store in Germany, they actually weren't disabling the chips even though they claimed they were. The government is also involved with the technology, she warned. Cash itself may eventually have RFID chips installed in it, creating a larger tracking and accountability da

Joe Bullard (waitingforagnes) shared his research into the fascinating history behind Coral Castle and its builder, Ed Leedskalnin. After being jilted by his young fiancée, Agnes, in his native Latvia, Leedskalnin eventually moved to the US, where he was diagnosed with terminal tuberculosis. However, Bullard noted that Ed was eventually given a clean bill of health, and he speculated that he may have found curative powers from the magnets he was working with as he began to build Coral Castle in Florida, as a tribute to his lost love Agnes. One of Leedskalnin's unique devices that used magnets was the "perpetual motion holder," though he never got a patent on it, Bullard said. How the frail Leedskalnin, who weighed just 100 pounds, moved the huge rocks has become an enduring mystery. He made claims that he had the same secret knowledge that was used to build the pyramids in Egypt, but after he was beaten up by thugs, he became less vocal about touting his devices, and Bullard sugge

Monday's main guest, astronomer and author, Ken Croswell (kencroswell.com) joined guest host Barbara Simpson (email) for a discussion about Mars. Because the red planet's ancient geologic history is better preserved than Earth's, Mars could offer significant clues as to how life evolved on our planet, Croswell said. In the past, Mars underwent "an enormous and catastrophic transition," including the loss of its atmosphere, he said, adding that Mars' smaller diameter may have contributed to its fate. Interestingly, he said that Mars' proximity to Jupiter probably prevented it from growing larger when the planets were first forming, as the larger body attracted more matter to it.Discussing Valles Marineris, a 2500 mile long canyon on Mars, Croswell said its location lines up near where a "canal" was once detected in earlier decades. Phobos and Deimos, the two Martian moons, could serve as "natural space stations," he suggested, for missions to Mars and further out in the solar sy

In the summer of 1973 he said there was one of the largest outbreak of Bigfoot sightings in history, over a seven-county area. In one unusual case, Gordon noted that an 8-ft. tall creature was seen carrying a "small glowing sphere." In fact, he said that in a number of instances, UFO and Bigfoot sightings have been made at the same time. He told of cabin dwellers that were surrounded by five creatures with "glowing red eyes," that were accompanied by a craft hovering over the trees that resembled "a big Christmas tree ornament." In another investigation, which involved a dome-shaped object that emitted a high-pitched sound, a man who was there, began to growl wildly in the middle of the field, Gordon reported.

The first half of Friday's program featured geologist and earthquake predictor Jim Berkland (syzygyjob.org) who said we are just about to enter a "seismic window," i.e. a period of greater likelihood for quake activity. Correlated with the start of the new moon, he said a 140 mile range from both San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as the Oregon and Washington coasts would be particularly susceptible. Discussing his study of increased missing animal reports that are made before major quakes, Berkland recommended the book When the Snakes Awake by Helmut Tributsch, that also draws a connection between animal behavior and quake prediction. There is evidence that major solar flares could be another correlate, and Berkland noted some large quakes had occurred within a short space of time after X-class activity on the sun. Eclipses, such as the one next week, are also associated with increased earthquake risk he said.
